I’m sure the plan is to pass a chunk of the taxes onto tourists in the form of a sales tax. Meatball knows you can’t just cut all that revenue without replacing it.

Im quite content with having an obnoxiously high sales tax. Hell - 80% of the shit in the grocery store should have a regular sales tax and not a food & drug tax (or lack thereof). I'd be annoyed that I'm paying $4-5 bucks for a White Monster, rather than the $2.50 they cost now... but energy drinks and similar shit arent exactly something I HAVE TO have.

Or in other words, that bothers me a whole lot less than the House I own and worked hard to own is still taxed every year. Where it could all of a sudden go from a county tax, to being included within the city because of redistricting - and all of a sudden, in my old age - I cant afford to eat AND pay the taxes on my vehicles and House. Or if I had a medical problem right fucking now - that if I was in deep rehabilitation for a year+ that I would struggle to keep my house and vehicles because of taxes?

Just... fuck taxes. Fuck paying for all these fucking social programs that were setup to help "the few" in real need, but end up fucking "helping" thousands of people, turning red owned and red supported taxes turn their own fucking city blue.

Let's look at it objectively. They is zero, less than zero, chance this doesn't get the 60% of the vote to pass if it makes the ballot. The fight will be every county in court to keep it off the ballot.

If it makes the ballot it passes. So the question becomes how do all the counties compensate for the massive loss of revenue to fund schools, firefighters and shit. It will have to be sales taxes, but those all require referendums to implememt.
